Pictures are coming down, the walls are becoming bare and boxes are opening up to be filled. Yes, we're finally on our way to our permanent school building.Last Man Standing:We are running a “Last Man Standing” competition again this year. Last year we had 56 players and raised €300 for the school. We are hoping to do even better this year! It’s only €10 to enter and you don’t have to be a huge soccer fan to play.
